John Brooks Killed in Marion County Motorcycle Crash on FM 248

Marion County, Texas (November 18, 2021) – One person was killed, and another was injured Tuesday afternoon in a motorcycle crash in Marion County, according to the Texas DPS.

The deadly accident happened around 2:45 p.m., November 16, on FM 248, about four and a half miles northeast of Jefferson.

DPS said a 2017 Harley-Davidson motorcycle was traveling southbound while a 1998 Dodge Ram was traveling northbound.

The Dodge failed to yield the right-of-way to the motorcycle as it was turning left onto a county road, resulting in a collision.

The motorcyclist, John Brooks, 58, of Jefferson, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The pickup truck driver was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The DPS is investigating the crash.

Most motorcycle crashes are caused by negligent drivers who don’t keep a proper lookout or fail to yield the right-of-way. Because motorcyclists are vulnerable, their injuries are usually severe, often suffering from road rash, broken bones, brain injuries, amputations, or spinal cord injuries. In some cases, the accident results in death.
